Cherries chiefs were last night understood to be considering asking Notts County officials to foot the bill for a damaged changing room door.

Magpies goalkeeper Kasper Schmeichel allegedly kicked the door in frustration as he entered the dressing room with his team trailing 2-0 at the interval.

The wooden frame above the door came away from the wall, while the hinges were also broken. County backroom staff were seen surveying the damage following the final whistle.

However, when quizzed by the Daily Echo, County manager David Kevan said he was unaware of the damage.

Schmeichel, the son of legendary Manchester United goalkeeper Peter, appeared upset as the two teams left the field following County’s 2-1 defeat.

He initially refused to shake hands with some Cherries players, although then relented. Earlier, the Dane had been jeered by a section of the home support as he prepared to take a goal kick.

It remains to be seen whether Cherries will pursue the matter as relations between the two clubs are good.

County have agreed to share the Sky Sports broadcast kitty with Cherries when the sides meet at Meadow Lane next month.

And County director of football Sven Goran Eriksson was apparently full of praise for Cherries following last night’s clash.

Former England manager Eriksson is understood to have complimented Cherries by describing their first-half showing as the best by any team against County this season.
